Since there is no close button until you clic on tab, this extension is perfect, just mouse over, middle clic and its gone!

Unfortunately I can not use it, because it also closes the tab, when using the middle click on the scroll bar to navigate up or down. ... :-(

Can this be fixed?

Because otherwise it's just wonderful!

Can't imagine life without this addon. Thank you so much. I have used it for years now! love my close button add ons

Work on my touchpad middle click BUT UNFORTUNATELY, does NOT work on my external mouse middle click.
Edit: I've got a new mouse and it's working fine now. Great add-on, thanks.

really useful addon!!!

I use it on my laptop without a mouse, but it is possible to use 3 finger tap as Middle click (it's in the Windows Control Panel) and this add-on is really useful for me. Recommend!

Vielen Dank, erleichtert das Arbeiten ungemein!

This is the best! Simple and lightweight, 20KB.

This addon does exactly what I need it to without sacrificing any functionality for me.

Unless your MMB is mapped for another needed function, this addon is a must have.

I love it! Thanks Dev....

Works fine even if I would have prefered a double click

I love this app for the new firefox quantum 57.0.2

I really missed right mouse double click close tab in the old firefox and so i found this replacement.

Works perfectly!

before installing, I emailed the developer about the scary message i saw saying this permission can: "access your data for all websites" and that i was scared off and did not download your app.

He responded with:

Please ignore the scary permission prompt :) The code is open source and can be looked at here:

So quit looking and download this app, its the best of its kind out there right now.

This addon definitely deserve more attension

Sometimes useful.
